Not that it matters, since gods are sillier than anything else being discussed. Just stories that do no tweaking of anything whatsoever.
Whereas as the gods of polytheisms are almost embodiments of the laws and aspects of nature.
To me, this makes a helluva lot more sense - it lightens the divine workload gives a measure of specificity about which god you should appeal to when things go pear shaped. Let’s say you stub your toe. Praying to Jehovah might get you some relief, but this guy has - at the very least - an entire universe to manage. Let’s face it, he’s swamped.
Wouldn’t you get better results appealing to Ramona, the goddess of Minor Household Injuries, or even Walter, the god of Who The Fuck Moved The Ottoman AGAIN??
